    Hi Juan,

    it's a nice flight shot, but the last one was a better image according to me (even though the heron was not flying, just standing there). I may have preferred this one if the bird for Example would had been turned just a little bit towards you and us. (But hey, I have been down to Donana in Spain, and nearly all of the flight shots of Grey Herons I got (also from the car as a half hide) was of course of them going to the side or just away from me (of course). People who have been shooting Great Blue Herons in for Example Florida have had a privilegie compared to be shooting these ones in Europe, much more shy and always going away, if you are not in a real hide.

    Like looking at your photos very much.

    Best

    Juan, I like the wings down position of the bird, and the colors in the BG work perfectly!

    Juan... dunno! I think I like this one better. Uhmm! Some how I feel is harder to get a nice picture while on flight so maybe that's why! Really nice! Thank you!

    This just pops from the BG so well, and the down position of the wing shows the feather detail nicely. Pin sharp, and well captured Juan.

    Brutus and René I like both images both for different reasons. Birds in flight are my favourite photography subject and have a lot of fun shooting BIF and that is the reason I like this one so much. On the other hand, from an artistic point of view, I have to agree with Brutus and say that I prefer my previous image over this one.

    Thank you so much to all the people who takes the time to write a comment on my images. Much apreciated:)
